UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e October 29th 2011

Staying at No.1 this week is tube-travelling Rihanna with Calvin Harris and We Found Love

You can see the video here, although it is lame in the extreme as she clearly hasn’t bothered making one. As for the song, it’s a very average piece of dance pop.

As such, it stops The Wanted getting any further than No.2 with Lightning.

Meanwhile, there are new entries in the Top 40 for:

• 2 The Wanted – Lightning
  
• 6 Kelly Clarkson – Mr. Know It All
  
• 9 Lana Del Rey – Video Games
  
• 11 Sean Paul feat. Alexis Jordan – Got 2 Luv U
  
• 21 Justin Bieber – Mistletoe
  
• 22 Katy Perry – The One That Got Away
  

Lower entries outside the Top 40 include:

• 78 (RE) Haddaway – What Is Love
  
• 82 (RE) Daniel Merriweather – Red
  
• 85 Joe Jonas – Just In Love
  
• 89 Bombay Bicycle Club – Lights Out, Words Gone
  
• 90 (RE) Coldplay – The Scientist
  
• 94 (RE) Drake – Headlines
  
• 95 (RE) Bruno Mars Count On Me
  
• 96 (RE) Rihanna Russian Roulette
  
• 97 (RE) Jessie J Who You Are
  

In the album charts, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds goes straight in at No.1 with his self-titled debut album, but thanks to his brother, Liam, having a separate band with Beady Eye, that means we now have TWO Beatles tribute bands instead of one(!). Steps drop down to No.3 with The Ultimate Collection.

The remaining new entries come from:

• 1 Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
  
• 2 Matt Cardle – Letters
  
• 7 Daniel O’Donnell – The Ultimate Collection
  
• 38 Chris De Burgh – Footsteps 2
  
• 40 (RE) The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses
  
• 44 M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming
  
• 52 Jane’s Addiction – The Great Escape Artist
  
• 57 Lowkey – Soundtrack To The Struggle
  
• 63 Boyz II Men – Twenty
  
• 91 (RE) Bon Iver – Bon Iver
